Brandi Toombs- Spokane Realtor

Should you buy now or wait? Consider this.

If you bought a $400,000 home at the start of this year, you’d be set up to gain roughly $83,000 in equity over the next 5 years based on expert forecasts.

So, if you’re ready and able to buy today, remember to factor in the equity that’s at stake as you make your decision.

This is why time in the market is better than timing the market.

Have you heard? Inventory is growing.

And not all that growth is because more homeowners are putting their houses up for sale (new listings). It’s also that some homes are taking a bit longer to sell (active listings).

If you want to make sure your listing doesn’t stick around long enough to go stale, DM me to chat about the marketing strategies I’ll use to draw in more buyers.

What’s one of the top things today’s homebuyers say they need more information on?

It’s programs that can help with the upfront costs of buying a home.

There are over 2000 down payment programs available – and with how tight affordability still is, it’s worth seeing if there’s one that can help you.

You can’t control what happens in the broader economy or how it impacts mortgage rates. But you can control the controllables.

And if you’re looking to buy a home, your credit score is one big area you could focus on.

A good score can help you secure the best rate possible – and that’s especially important today.

Down payment assistance programs can be a game-changer in empowering Black homeownership, especially if you don't have generational wealth to put toward your goals.

That's why it's so important to take advantage of the resources available.
